**Thank you to NetGalley, author Aria Karlsson, and Capstone for the eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.**
This picture book is beautiful. The story follows two siblings as they learn, explore, and understand gender identity. Karlsson does a wonderful job of creating an encouraging, supportive narrative that allows family members, specifically siblings, to see how they can support their transitioning sibling.
The author's note at the end of the story shares Karlsson's decision to create a story about a transgender child who has a supportive sibling. She does show the struggles and questions that may come up, but she does so in a way that is not demeaning or demonizing to the sibling.
I adore the illustrations, as well. The colors are bright and the drawing style is unique and fun.
